New Moon (depending on your time zone) is Thursday/Friday, and we’ll want to use a floor wash of spring water, rosemary, lemons and oranges (cut and slice one of each fruit in a gallon of warm water). Stir well. Rinse the entire porch/area to encourage good fortune energy to enter the home. Hang a pair of child’s plastic open scissors decorated either with holly or ivy above the front door to cut the negativity before it comes through the opening during the winter months.

We are on Day 4, and I’m reading that a lot of you are getting a great deal accomplished! You go! Sun in Sagittarius is square Neptune in Pisces today and tomorrow so you may feel a little sluggish – no worries – do what you can. Light a Red Candle for a bit of motivation, call on the energy of the Cardinal, and brew some herbals on the stove (like clove, orange peel, allspice, and cinnamon in spring water at a low simmer) to let the spiced steam awaken good fortune energies! Let that 4th quarter moon help you let go and release! As you disengage from the physical that drags you down, so the spirit is uplifted!

Just follow the primary rule: Throw one thing out. No giveaways this first week unless you will absolutely give them where they are supposed to go. Other than that — Toss. Toss. Toss. I say this because some folks whisper to themselves, “I can give this away”, and then just set the item aside where it stealthily mixes back into the clutter. If you really want to give something away, devise a routine for yourself. For example, the clothes go in a plastic bag, which goes out to the trunk of my car THAT DAY. Then, I take a trip up the road and deposit them in the charity bin – THAT DAY. This way, the energy of the area is immediately decluttered, and I feel better because I have helped someone in need.

As to your comments – I love them! This blog is monitored, which means new folks’ comments go through a few filters and then into a pending mode until they are reviewed. No problems? They go live. So, if you think your comments aren’t going up – just give the system some time to work. This is our way to ensure that you have a positive experience. The program is designed to help you, bring joy, personal empowerment, healing, and happiness to you.

My Experience – I work the program right along with you – that way your reading experience is entirely current and applicable to each day. I don’t tell you what to do. I tell you about what I am doing, and you can do the same if you like, lol. Yesterday, I didn’t get everything done in the bedroom I wanted. I did manage to dust, wash all the bedding, declutter, and dive into the closet – part way. To get to the Yule decorations, I had to clear a path. Now, the decorations are sitting in the middle of the bedroom – so, I sort of defeated myself for the moment. On the plus side, I managed to collect three bags of clothes to donate along with a few toys that didn’t get more than a passing glance from the grandchild who has outgrown them. There are things I need to move to the living room before I put up the decorations. Usually, this isn’t an issue; but, this year we have a timing consideration. Argh. Patience is not my virtue. I also managed to toss some things out of the bathroom. I swear the half-empty goop in personal care product bottles, jars, and tubes become a cement in an attempt to build their own inner sanctum of grime – dust, body hair, skin cells…BLECK!!

Tomorrow: We’re going to talk about Grandmother Spider, the Web of Wyrrd, and how you can use these images and associations as a tool for your personal empowerment and well-being during the Great Release Program!

Enjoying this so much and have got my first weekly goal completed early. This is so motivating because it’s fun, even my partner is involved. The Rattle Bath became a Crystal Bath due to the noise, and the Aura Cleanse is awesome and I’ve used it on my crystal before and after the Crystal Bath (thanks Silver for that), had to substitute a bit with two herbs for the Sweet Sleep sachet but it smells sweet and over time I’ll journal it to see if it’s worked. What a marvelous way to end the old year! Because of the daily 3 minute dash my first main goal is completing by itself at the same time.

Nice! Every year I am so grateful for the energy “switch” of the Great Release Program activities. September thru November are crazy busy and I breathe a sigh of relief when I make time to get things back in order, lol.

It was difficult yesterday but it is over. Only 3 stars in all but I am ok. I feel ready to continue today . Follow your hert and if the spirit leads you to check the messenger it is good, if not then it is ok too 🙂 Today is promising to be much better . Blessed Be 🙂

My craft closet is all over the floor in the first bedroom…but I have until Saturday to Get it sorted.😁 I’ve tossed daily and have a not so small pile growing to give away. And I finished my quilt too yesterday too. So much done.

Yesterday, I just throw only one sponge away. Not that much, but better than nothing. Just cleansed the floor. But still far away from the fridge, I planned to do. And there is one bag, with stuff, to put it in the cloth bin. But somehow, I want to donate it to a Kindergarten or so, cause it is for Kids. Seems, the stuff inside this bag, plans its own way. But, it is close to the door. So, hopefully it will find it ways out until the afternoon.
Unfortunately, my kid told me a happening from her friend, this girl cuts herself and harns herself, also she stop eating, or reduce it. She had yesterday only an apple during the whole school hours! So I decided my chakra cleansing in the morning to be different, I worked only on this girl. The yellow Chakra was full with fear. So, I started cleansed her chakra, prayed to the Godess to help this girl, to focus on living, (get out of self destruction).
Silver I want to please, you & the community to pray, send good energy to this girl, her name is Lena, age 12-13 years old.
Thank you all.

This is perfectly timed for me. I am making a big move summer of 2019 and need to do all of these things for that as well as just enjoy the Holly Days here in Chantilly Va——I think I posted a few days ago that I’m a little behind with this group, but I’d already begun doing this on my own. Doing this here with these fine Goddesses there is more inspiration and fine tuned energy that is greatly helping me through the sadness of leaving and leading me to the joy of begging.

I absolutely understand this, having experienced it myself. Start with you, the things that belong to you, and whatever is under your control. Here, the balancing work is the biggest plus you have — it will enable you to move past this living situation. Keep at it.

I’m all caught up! Altar etc., done yesterday afternoon. No advance on the study, yet. It’s been a hectic day with work and visitors, etc., and it isn’t getting quieter quiet yet! I’ll get to it later this afternoon. I got up bright and early this morning to do the porch, balcony, doors, etc., before the heat sets in. Loving this so much! 🙂

I’m getting off to a slow start this year. However some of the things I did the day before. Hehe! I have my altar next to my tree and it makes me smile everytime I see it. Feeling the magic of the season! Thank you!

I had a tough time getting going this morning, but once I did everything flowed. Interesting thing. The room where I did morning ritual and the rattle bath was quite cool. (60 degrees) I was chilly when I started despite a heavy robe but by the time I finished I was roasty toasty to the point of wanting to throw off my robe! That rattle bath really gets the energy flowing.

The porch as I shared on one of the other days has been on my hit list. I use salt regularly at the doors when it seems necessary. I liked the idea of adding to the cleansing. I sprayed Florida Water around. Wouldn’t you know a neighbor came to get his mail [the box for some of the houses is in front of my house]. I am sure he wondered what that woman was doing. lol I just kept going. I didn’t get the main item for Day 3 done. But as I am writing one of my helpers that has not been able to come for quite sometime has come. She organized the shelf that I have my husband’s clothes in. She helped shake out the clothes that I had stacked and helped clear the path to the front door. Tomorrow she is going to come and help organize the pantry…much needed. I might not be right on the day but I keep chugging along on the process. I love this encouragement. Each morning I reread each day so I can gain the strength from it.

Do what you can do when you can do it and that is a super success!!!! Excellent idea of adding the Florida Water. When I was a little girl, nobody thought anything of washing down the porch and doors, lol. Now, unless you have a power washer in your hands, neighbors think you are strange. Too funny.
